Market Assessments and Bulletins

WFP conducts assessments to analyse the impact of higher food prices on households' food security situation. The information collected on the exact extend of the price rise, on the consequences for households' access to food and food consumption, and on the impact on traders and market help design the most appropriate responses.

WFP produces a quarterly bulletin presenting the trends of prices of staple food commodities in more than 30 most vulnerable countries and the overall cost of the food basket.
